The summer social season officially gallops into full swing as Hollywoodbets Kenilworth hosts one of its most vibrant days on the calendar: Sip & Shop, presented alongside the prestigious World Sports Betting Cape Fillies Guineas.
And in true Cape Town fashion, this is no ordinary day at the races — it’s a delicious blend of glamorous shopping, gorgeous flavours, chilled beats, and high-energy racing thrills.
Best part? Entry is completely free — you just need to book your ticket through Computicket.
A day filled with sips, bites & summer sparkle
From 11am to 8pm, the venue transforms into a sun-soaked playground of flavour and style. Food lovers can graze their way through a selection of food trucks while sipping on three complimentary wine tasting tokens courtesy of The Cellar Club. And dessert devotees are in for a moment of pure joy thanks to the luxurious Château Gâteaux cake tasting happening throughout the afternoon.
Families haven’t been forgotten either. A supervised kids’ zone, designed for children aged 2–12, promises entertainment, sweets, and enough fun to keep little ones delightfully busy while adults indulge in everything else on offer.
Shopping, music & racing — the perfect trio
Sip & Shop isn’t just about the flavours. It’s also a chance to browse a curated selection of local makers and boutique vendors — think fashion, accessories, beauty, lifestyle, and gifts. Whether you’re shopping for festive-season treasures or spoiling yourself (as one should), you’ll find something irresistible.
Adding even more sparkle to the mix, the event features live music from DJ Carlo Rigz, Carla Stokes, and Liam Culbert, delivering the perfect summer soundtrack.
And of course, the heart-pounding highlight: the World Sports Betting Cape Fillies Guineas, one of South Africa’s most anticipated racing events, bringing glamour, adrenaline, and world-class equine power to the track.
Sip & Shop strikes the perfect balance between leisurely weekend fun and heart-racing excitement. Whether you’re going for the food, the fashion, the wine, the music, or the thrill of the Guineas — this free-entry festival is the kind of all-rounder Cape Town locals live for.
